FILE - This May 19, 2014 file photo shows Ron Dermer in New York. Dermer, Israel's ambassador to the US is asserting that criticism of Secretary of State John Kerry's peace-making efforts is traceable to Israel's "very rambunctious democracy," and not Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Dermer said Netanyahu appreciates Kerry's efforts to bring about a cease-fire in the Gaza war. He adds, quote, "This is not coming from the prime minister." (Photo by Scott Roth/Invision/AP, File)

Boehner said Monday, July 28, the administration should "stand with Israel, not just as a broker or observer but as a strong partner." (AP Photo/File)
